Outside help may be sought in tracking London's arsenal - Dr Luncheon Stabroek News February 21, 2000 The government is prepared if necessary to seek regional and international assistance to determine the source of the arsenal found in the apartment which Linden 'Blackie' London inhabited at the Toucan Guest House. This assurance was given by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, when he briefed reporters at his fortnightly press conference on Friday at the GTV studios, Homestretch Avenue. "I am certain that if regional and international efforts are deemed necessary that they would be procured to identify the source of the weapons and the other paraphernalia uncovered at the scene of the incident." Luncheon said too that he did not believe that the military had been requested to identify whether any of the weapons or ammunition found at the Toucan Guest House had come from its armoury. Luncheon explained that both the police and the army were involved in the investigations and "interim reports of a technical nature--post-mortem, ballistics and such other related matters--are being used to identify and to resolve some of those outstanding issues. "I suspect that as results are obtained that information would be made available to the Guyanese public," Luncheon said, adding that he had seen some "indications as to the use of these weapons found at the site." Luncheon said that he was unable to address questions about the integrity of the investigations. But he said that he would want to believe that the standard operating procedures by the law enforcement agencies are being implemented, adding that the reservations about the integrity of the evidence are being professionally addressed. Since the gutted building was handed over by the police to its owner, a 9 mm pistol, live and spent shells as well as tear smoke and tear gas grenades have been found and given to the police. A cellular phone found at the scene as well as other documents and photographs were also handed over to the police.
